Haas machines, known for their technological innovations, have become a prominent force in the Indian manufacturing landscape. The integration of high-speed spindles, automatic tool changers, and intuitive control systems sets Haas apart, enhancing productivity and ensuring high precision, crucial for industries like aerospace, automotive, energy, medical equipment, and general engineering.
Haas’ journey in India began two and a half decades ago, culminating in a strategic partnership with Phillips Machine Tools Private Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phillips Corporation, the world’s largest Haas distributor. This collaboration, established in 2008, is transforming Indian manufacturing by providing local businesses with access to cutting-edge technology and unparalleled support, paving the way for enhanced productivity and global competitiveness.
Phillips Machine Tools has been instrumental in establishing Haas’ presence in the Indian subcontinent. With an impressive installation base of over 15,000 Haas machines across the country, distributed among over 5,000 customers, Phillips Machine Tools is the market leader in imported Vertical Machining Centers (VMCs) and 5-axis machining centers.
The company is dedicated to unlocking solutions that propel profitability, productivity, and new capabilities for the manufacturing community. With a team of over 500 employees, including nearly half dedicated field engineers across India, Phillips Machine Tools ensures seamless installation, training, and ongoing support, empowering Indian manufacturers to maximize the potential of their Haas investments.
Phillips Machine Tools’ commitment to authenticity extends to parts and service support. With over $2 million worth of genuine Haas spare parts in stock across their nine technical centers in India, they provide timely and genuine replacements, further solidifying the trust Indian manufacturers place in Haas and Phillips.
In a testament to their enduring partnership, Haas and Phillips have announced a special discount on Haas SUPER SPEED SS-Models exclusively for the Indian market.
